Lately I have been in conversation with the granddaughter of Robert Noorduyn, the fellow who designed and built the Norsemen. A very nice lady with a web site. She wrote to me: "To be honest with you, my initial interest in this project was to preserve the memories of my grandfather and as a vehicle to help him meet enthusiasts of his father's plane on the internet. My grandmother has been ill for several years and I think it's been a great thing for him to concentrate on instead of worrying about her health. I'm just now getting the "norseman bug" from it all...Also, as far as I know, there is no financial gain in it for me, but I do love hearing from people all over the world and I did get my website listed in a British aircraft magazine once." Now, this fellow ranks with the Wright brothers...I think we ALL owe him a note. She didn't know that MS FS even existed. What say ye?www.noorduynnorseman.barrysworld.net

And my Norsesman is almost done too.........http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d34cfdc6a58a294.jpgBrian

Looking GOOD!!!!!!!!Don

Outstanding, as always Brian! For those of you unfamiliar with Norsemen..Robert Noorduyn desgined and built them, they just about MADE Canada, played a great part in WWII, Glenn Miller was killed in one...and most are still flying. (the company now makes aircraft interiors). Go visit the website and say "thanks".

NOTE: The "Glen Miller getting killed in one" was NOT in the sales brochure!!!! LOL!! Folks, check this site out Liz put here. It's really great. This was/is a fantastic bird and overlooked by many. Brians plane is about to cure us of a lacking airplane!Don

Be hard to duplicate Glenn anyway, the RAF doesn't download bombs near shore anymore, haha. (which brings up the stupid question: why didn't they land with them and save for next time?)
